Nissan = Bank Account Rapists
Alright, so I get the call from the service center at Nissan about my car.
Now keep in mind I know for a fact that the TIE ROD and FLCA needed to be replaced.
This is what "Jeff" told me:
Control Arm
Knuckle (Spindle & Hub)
Strut
According to him those three things will cost me around $1600.
He said that the strut alone will cost $430.
I was like, DUDE, I can get a set of 4 AGXs for less than that.
Then he tells me labor will be about $430 for everything.
And the alignment at the end will be $60.
If you didn't notice, he didn't even mention the tie rod at all, which is bent at about a 30-35 degree angle much like the control arm.
I'm just venting haha.
If anyone knows where I can get Nissan OE parts please LMK because I know they are trying to highball the **** out of me.
